Curious what rules you think would be represent your favorite marvel comic characters? What data sheet would be rep Captain America? Vision? Thor? Etc.

In 8th edition, I actually played an Army list based on this concept. Worked like this:

Super Heavy Imperial Knights Aux Detachment
Hulk - Knight Gallant

Supreme Command Detachment - Adeptus Custodes
Captain America - Trajann Valoris
Winter Soldier - Shield Captain with spear
Iron Man - Shield Captain on Jetbike
Vision - Shield Captain on Jetbike
Thor - Shield Captain on Jetbike

Imperial Guard Battalion (The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and support staff) - Catachans
Nick Fury - Company Commander
Scarlet Witch - Primaris Psyker (used a witch model from AoS painted to look like Scarlet Witch)
Black Widow - Sly Marbo (used an assassin model painted to look like Black Widow)
Coulson - Platoon leader
Strike Team 1 - veterans with plasma guns
Strike Team 2 - veterans with plasma guns
S.H.I.E.L.D. agents team A - infantry squad
S.H.I.E.L.D. agents team B - infantry squad
S.H.I.E.L.D. agents team C - infantry squad
Quinjet 1 - Valkyrie
Quinjet 2 - Valkyrie

It was a LOT of fun to play. The Strike teams were my alpha strike attempt and Hulk was my distraction carnifex. I won a single game in a tournament with them - mostly got absolutely demolished, but that's probably a function of my poor skills rather than the list design. Scarlet Witch, Winter Soldier, and Black Widow almost always were the stars, oddly enough. Hulk pretty much never did anything (again, not his fault, almost certainly mine).

Sadly it doesn't work nearly as well in 9th because of the restrictions on "souping." BOOOOO!

Any pictures? That sounds awesome. The Hulk as a IK? Was it painted green...and purple?

It took a bit, but I found an okay-ish picture of the army on the display board I made for it.

You can see Scarlet Witch behind Hulk. The flying potato on the right was replaced with another Valkyrie for competitions, I just proxied it for training battles. The assassin in front of Hulk is Black Widow, played by Sly Marbo, proxied with the assassin model.

Oh, and I had misremembered. I didn't have Thor, because I had 3D-printed a HUGE thunderhammer for him, but hadn't gotten another Vertus Praetor model and was planning on using Ogryn arms, etc etc. Anyway, left to right, the Custodes were: Winter Soldier (Shield Captain with spear), Captain America (Trajan), Iron Man (Shield Captain on Dawn Eagle), Vision (Shield Captain on Dawn Eagle), and Hawkeye (standard bearer with the 5+ invul and the Gatekeeper relic - I wasn't going for combat optimized, just wanted to do the best I could with a thematic army).

It was fun to model and set up. Not fun to play at a tournament - got crushed pretty easily.

Still looks pretty good. A good looking fluffy army is still more...fun...than a meta one.
